I took what I had heard about the Grand Ronde with a grain of salt. All the stories of huge numbers of fish caught and the massive crowds that go along with such great fishing. Under the right conditions the fishing was great but the weather was not at all cooperating. Of the 6 days I spent there only two came with great success. The other four put my skills to the test. The fact that you actually had to work to catch steelhead here was a welcoming surprise, it would have become boring other wise.
